Good luck DAFC
- 10 May 2014 09:24265953The big day has arrived, play off final day V Ebbsfleet, a huge game for the club with no doubt spin offs for the Town. If we win then we go in to a National league against the likes of Bristol Rovers Torquay Wrexham etc and they will be bringing plenty of fans with them on match day and maybe the night before. Biggest game in Kent for a long time and our biggest one for many years, COME ON YOU WHITES.
Audere est facere. - 10 May 2014 09:59265959should have great travelling support today.
- 10 May 2014 10:08265961Promotion would indeed be good for Dover's economy Martin.
The rain band is promised to clear through so hopefully the weather will not be to bad. I advise anyone planning to catch the High Speed that it will be full of Whites fans off to Ebbsfleet. As will the 17.24 and 17.31 from Ebbsfleet this evening (assuming no extra time). - 10 May 2014 15:56265989no goals at half time and the rain pouring down.

- 10 May 2014 17:06265996Listened to the second half on the radio, plenty of nail biting and I don't even support them.
great news for the town as well as the loyal supporters. - 10 May 2014 18:03265999lifted these from the club's website, i'm sure they won't mind too much.

10 May 2014 18:33266000Well done to them what great news.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 10 May 2014 18:43266004Just back. Drenched but delirious. Magnificent support and proud to be a Dovorian.
WE DID IT!!!

10 May 2014 20:29266016howard do you meen this.
- 10 May 2014 21:11266031Come to think of it David, yes!
Almost as good as when Whitfield won the Burton Cup in 1975... - 10 May 2014 21:21266034does the team think that a civic reception would be in order for the team?
nothing over the top but a glass of wine, sausage rolls and those bits of cheese and pineapple on tooth picks at the town council offices with the mayor in full regalia.
the players and manager deserve a bit of recognition for putting dover in a good light. - 10 May 2014 21:23266035Nah, Howard. Open top bus ride. Ticker tape welcome.

11 May 2014 00:19266049All these posts and no one has mentioned the score.
- 11 May 2014 06:31266051It was one nil Alec, a Nathan Elder header. A fantastic achievement, a long time since I have got that wet at a football match as Dover fans were given the uncovered area of the ground but it could not spoil a great day for Dover.Audere est facere.
- 11 May 2014 08:44266057Yes a great day out and in the end they deserved it and yes like a good few other supporters I have eaten my humble pie.. Chris Kinnear pure magic
.
Now we can bring on some of the bigger clubs and have some long days out.
